Well I thought about the whole Germany thing and decided to move me and my kids back to VA to be close to my family. I have given 7 years to prove to me how he felt about me and our kids and I finally WOKE up and relized that he doesnt give a SH** about any of us. So why should I pack up my kids and travel so far away from people that love us. Thanks to all of u that replied. I am gonna try to get the surgery done b4 we move.

I am sorry her hubby will be deployed again, I know what thats like as does most of us I am sure, my hubby is leaving for tour #3 in Nov. Its cool that she is stationed in Baumholder, that was our 1st duty station. I loved it. My hubby is from Killeen too, small world huh? Love the poem thank you

Sounds like your daughter and I have alot in common. We were in Ft Hood before hubby was put on Drill Sgt duty. He deloyed 3 times from there. He is also an infantry soldier and at the end of the year, we are headed to AK. Welcome to the forum!

i didn't know this forum existed and i asked last week to create one. i will drop by here when i log in. i have a daughter who is married to her infantry soldier. he was deployed in iraq and returned to ft hood, killeen, tx on dec 2006. they were stationed there for 2 years and are now in baumholder, germany. he hasn't been back for 5 months when he was called for redeployment again set from sept to nov 2007. my daughter sent me this and i thought it was very beautiful. i would like to share it and feel free to add it to your profile. it is meant and dedicated to all army wives that know what the terms means. hope to interact with some of you on this board... I am an Army wife I've noticed in my present job, there is a tiny quirk. There's no respect at all and its not considered work! Well, I am here to show you another point of view, and give you an idea of what I really do! Here's my job description and to better understand, it's written in the language of the Army Man. I'm the IG, complaints come to me. I am the Medic, I bandage skinned knees. I'm the Legal Office and the courts-martial, too. I decide the punishment, how much and on who. I'm Health: Welfare, inspecting for junk, and the 1SG checking the bunk. I'm also Supply, in charge of food, clothes, housewares, diapers, toys, heaven only knows. I'm the MP who secures the door, I'm also the PVT who GI's the floor. I'm the Mess SGT who cooks all the meals. I'm TMP in charge of the wheels. I'm MWR planning all the fun and I am the Bugler, announcing the "day is done". I'm the KP who does all the dishes, I am the DA who hears all you wishes. I'm the CQ and the Fireguard, too, there isn't that much that I don't do. I'm the instructor too, you see, because what is learned is taught by me. I'm the Squad Leader who knows his troops well, sometimes the Drill SGT *****ally can yell. I'm the S4, S1, 2, 3, just about everything must come through me. Appropriations, taskings, commitments too, I'm responsible for all we do. I never go to battle, and AR of some sort, but you can count on me to bravely guard the fort. I'm ALWAYS on duty, I never take leave, no Holidays off, it's hard to believe! I can never ETS, I signed for life, my primary MOS is Mother, my secondary is Army Wife. For all my devotion, to duty, my LES says "NO PAY DUE" because I'm not paid in money, but in the words of 'I LOVE YOU'. I AM AN ARMY WIFE

August 16th is my husbands birthday too!
